orion 2500d help plz

[yo0123yo 10+ year member]

well i got two 04 12" L7's, big 3, and a red top, they are dual 4 ohm, i had them wired to 1 ohm to my orion 2500d and i think that was way too much power for them because i always smelled voice coil after about 10 minutes of them playing(i know the 06's can take 1200 a piece easy), so i took them out the box and now i rewired them to 4 ohms, so they get 1200 watts because i saw that the orion 2500d puts out 1200 at 4 ohm, now is this the max it puts out at 4 ohm or can it be more, also, how many watts do you guys think its putting out is my voltage is staying at 13.8-14.1, thanks

if they were the 06 L7s they'd be yangin'

How did you have the gain set? If they can take 1200 a piece they should have been fine. Yeah thats about how much you are going to get out of it at 4 ohms, if im wrong someone correct me.

i got the 04 models, not the 06, and i used a dmm to set the gain

 

[yo0123yo 10+ year member]

but now sinc weim gettin 1200 watts at 4 ohm, what should my dmm read when i do the test? Sqrt(Power*Resistance) = Voltage

so sqrt(1200*4)=70 is this right?

69 or 70, I would round down. Yeah, But I was sayin before you rewired to 4 ohm, how high was the gain set? Did you try turning it down some?

 

[yo0123yo 10+ year member]

i had it about half way and yea i tried turning it down, it wouldnt sound as loud tho, and when it did, the coil would start to smell

Not sure at all what that has to do with his question. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

1200 is the rms on the 2500d at 4 ohms.

Might be a little more, though, but nothing too significant.

no ive been using them since August 2005 but i just recently got the 2500d, before the 2500d i had a kx1200.1 powering them
